My Life in a few words or less…

Birthday Blues

This week marks the last birthday of my 20’s… hard to believe! I always pictured my 29th birthday as a blow out bonanza, which roughly translates to drinking far too much wine with dinner, following that with far too many martini’s, then hitting up the dance floor for an all nighter. But alas, Big Mac is preventing my bonanza from being a reality. I was approaching this birthday with mixed emotions ~ sad that I can’t have my bonanza, sad that I am entering my last year of being ’20’, slightly anxious about the big 3-0 next year… so, not too many positive emotions (can I still blame this on the hormones?)

But then hubby came along, like a knight in shining armor (armor in this case = Spiderman boxers and a Tiger Cats sweatshirt). After he oh so sweetly got me back to sleep after a 3-5am Big Mac squirm fest, without konking me out cold, he made the best birthday breakfast – french toast, strawberries, bacon, fruit juice and decaf cappuccino (my fav breakfast foods) – he then provided entertainment during breakfast of a Youtube clip of last years fireworks show at Lac Leamy, with the sound track of Katy Perry’s Firework. This lead to the big surprise of tickets for us and some friends to the Firework show at Lac Leamy for Italy’s night! And a new comfy bright yellow camp chair to sit and watch the Fireworks. And he planned a picnic dinner for us all. I obviously cried – went through all the emotions of how wonderful he is, how I am so undeserving, excitement over the fireworks, smiling because Katy Perry was playing. He said some very nice things… and my previous sad feelings for my birthday this year were put to rest. How can I be sad when I have such a wonderful person in my life, who is quick to point out all the wonderful things we have in our life.

So with that, no more being sad or anxious about my birthday! It is no longer ‘blue’, but ‘bright blue’, or more acurately yellow! (all the picnic accessories are yellow) I am looking forward to this next year, and with so many changes, how can I not be excited. And that perhaps a bonanza is more appropriate for the big 3-0… might have to line up a babysitter.
